Mobile transmitter hunting is organized events where participants travel exclusively or primarily in motor vehicles. Most mobile transmitter hunting hunters use VHF transmitters and receivers. Some participants use radio direction finding equipmentand antennas mounted on a vehicle, whereas others use antennas that are temporarily deployed in an open window or an opening in the vehicle roof that can be easily rotated by hand while the vehicle is in motion.
